Farmstay Experiences
Guided Farm Tours, Customs Tours & Experiences during your stay.
Guided Farm Tours
Walk to our poultry, pigs or sheep grazing their way through diverse pasture and silvopasture. Stroll through gardens and orchards enjoying the scents of herbs crushing underfoot, observing pollinators and more generally the harmonious blend of regenerative farming and nature.
Stop to taste, observe, and of course take photos, enjoying the long view of our farm and the surrounding lush hills! Whereas traditionally farms have been a bucolic backdrop for visitors, you will be embedded directly within the farm’s beauty, providing unique frames and accents for the vibrancy of Summer or the autumnal display.
Meet the Farm & Farmers (45 minutes)
Get a quick introduction to all of the livestock and gardens, or focus your time in one or two areas of particular interest.
On this introductory tour, you will meet the animals on pasture (or in the barn, if it is winter), learn about how we raise them and what they eat, as well as see our vegetable gardens.
There will be plenty of time to ask questions, decide which animal is your favorite, and to snap some great photos. Stops at the tractor for photo ops can generally be arranged.
Good for all ages. It is a walking tour over some uneven ground. $10/person, $30 minimum.
Cost:
$10/person, $30 minimum.
In-Depth Farmer Tour (1.5-2 hours, includes farm-fresh snack)
Spend time touring our farm and you’ll come away with memories, great stories and having learned so much. We will share stories of the farm and its characters while we introduce you to our livestock and crops. You’ll get to enjoy seeing our sheep, pigs and poultry on pasture as they eat, dig, frolic or just lounge in their mud puddle, if it is a hot day.
Many who raise livestock on pasture call themselves “grassfarmers” and we hold that as a proud and accurate label for our work. But our more primary identity is as “relationship farmers.” For example, we nurture connections between our soils and our produce and we believe that we—our customers as well as ourselves—can know and name our animals, ultimately appreciating not only the taste and health qualities of grass-fed meat but also the meaning it holds. Our complex bottom line results from our understanding of these interrelationships and we will share them with you, answering your questions about the livestock and crops and what it takes to make it all work.
Our tour will conclude with a farm-fresh snack at our farm stand. Good for all ages. It is a walking tour over some uneven ground.
Cost:
$25/person, $75 minimum.
Custom Tours & Experiences
Our farm has a limited capacity, but are well suited, to organize custom tours and experiences.
If you are looking for a unique and memorable hands-on learning experience or organizing something for a group or series of tours, we are happy to discuss what might be possible. We currently offer a custom Fall Foliage Farm Tour and Tapas Farm Lunch for Trafalgar, and have worked with Mt. Sobek on private, custom tours and farm experiences.
Contemporary spas offer “forest bathing”. We engage folks in a farm soak! Intimate scale, diverse nooks, and the farm’s practice of inviting guests to experience the actual work of the day will ensure all feel both at home and revitalized by the time we stop for a festive and cozy regenivore farm meal. As colorful as the landscape, the tasty dishes are an edible review of the wide variety witnessed on the tour of our diverse, regenerative farm.
Why Custom Experiences?
Small, diverse farms offer perspective on universal themes: life cycles, resilience, growth and their corollaries. Make our diverse farm more than a backdrop and soundtrack. Put on your boots, roll up your sleeves and farm! Pick your hands-on, authentic farm experiences, organized so you can learn and participate.
